Alright so @mrboatman may have the key to the rubber spacer figured out. So now it's potentially the pin spring, pin, contact plate and maybe the large isolator bushing?

 

[locklaw]

For the isolator bush, look at possibly using an early CJ5 horn bush and wire which uses similar principles

@EmanC lent me his horn parts to check out .

I heard from someone today that @65swb45 may have had a few of these metal plates stamped out before? Is that true Mark? Do you still have them for sale? If so that would be another part figured out!

For Sale - SoCal-Section 120-early horn contact parts

This is a project that I started several years ago that never got finished. I wanted to be able to offer the horn contact plates with the contact spring and pin, but never worked out the logistics for them. In the meantime, the plates are gathering dust. Plates are available for $10 each...

Happy to discuss a bulk purchase with you.

What was your process for finishing those?

Sandable primer?
Color/black coat?
Fill in text/logo with model paint?
Clear over top?


I was thinking a thin epoxy might work for a top coat, but it'll be difficult to maintain the sharpness of the inside lines. It'd be potentially a tougher top coat.

Hi there,
So for finishing the knobs with the decals (we used the ones @63FST sells), the knobs were cleaned with a dupli-color pre-paint cleaner (plastic safe), lightly sanded with 1000 grit paper, two-coats of dupli-color plastic adhesion promoter, applied decals, then two-coats of dupli-color 1k gloss clear paint. Worked fantastic! And provides UV protection to the knob.
I haven't tried the infill versions with the clear top coat , but I think doing the infill before the clear would be no problem.
You of course can use whatever brand of products you like, but I think the key is to keep all our paint products (promotor and paint) from the same manufacturer so they play nice with each other.

 

[63FST]

Pretty awesome work you have done there with the knobs..... @red66toy

For anyone who needs decals or a custom design I can assist....I also have more info for installation of the decals but looks like @red66toy can provide plenty of information to make your knobs look just like his.

Bravo for a cool project too

Cruiserhead Spotlight series​

Number 1​

Nate aka @mattressking​

For our first cruiserhead blog interview we are talking to the well known cruiser owner/lover "Mattress King". If you haven't, check them out here:​

FJ60 Build Thread​

FJ40 Thread​

They are both informative and rich in great pictures. Always a great read.​

So we all start on the same page and address the most burning question. Mattress King, How did that name come about? I am guessing you were not a top salesman of mattresses.​

Ha! Totally right, my first job was not selling deeply discounted mattresses. Before Land Cruisers I was heavily enveloped in the tuner/VAG scene...

@mattressking for the time and sharing with the community.

I have shown this to @wngrog countless times. This time you would have thought he was a 12 year old with a Playboy magazine.

Great lit, thanks for sharing! Rapid read, need to go back and spend some time. But what I’ve learned so far:
1) I need to put a six shooter in the “roomy” toolbox
2) I‘m one in a thousand men
